Most of these essays are extremely boring, and I was going to give up and give it one star until I started hopping around to whatever looked interesting. There are some good ideas here, but nothing I didn’t already agree with. The main message is “we need to think long-term and growth can’t go on forever.” There’s not a lot of guidance on how to achieve that, but it’s probably through lots of centralized control on the economy. The only specific solution I liked was cap-and-trade on all non-renewable resources, which involves centralized control but keeps the benefits of competition.
